This study aimed to explore the association of tumor sidedness with the prognosis of patients with colon signet ring cell carcinoma (SRCC). Eligible patients were retrieved from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database between 2004 and 2015. Cancer-specific survival (CSS) and overall survival (OS) were compared between patients with left-sided colon SRCC and those with right-sided lesions.

Qualified postoperative patients were extracted from Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database from 2004 until 2015. We collected 1675 patients in the research, and 936 patients were subjected to adjuvant chemotherapy group.

Methods: The cohort was selected from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database between January 1, 2004 and December 31, 2013. Univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazard (PH) regression models were performed.
Objectives: The aim of this analysis was to study the impact of marital status on inflammatory breast cancer (IBC) patients, as the prognostic impact is yet to be studied in detail.
Methods: Data of IBC patients from 2004 to 2010 were sorted out from the database of surveillance, epidemiology, and end results (SEER), and overall survival (OS) rates and breast cancer-specific survival (CSS) rates were compared between a group of married and unmarried patients. The comparison was performed by Kaplan-Meier method with log-rank test, and multivariate survival analysis of CSS and OS was performed using the Cox proportional hazard model.
